SNAFU

So, I walked down the hill to the train station, easily arriving 5 minutes before the train was due to leave, handily arriving just as they announced that my train was cancelled.

As the next train was going to get me into Edinburgh exactly as the play started, this was less than useful, especially as most places won't let you in after the curtain rises.

So I walked back up the hill.

In the rain.

Scotrail hate me, it's the only explanation.

Trains

I've often been suprised at how crap the train service to Edinburgh is. I mean there's one train an hour, it's stops at every concievable station. Compare that to Glasgow, two trains an hour, one stopping, one direct.

It's part of why my choice would always have been to go to Glasgow.

There's two trains an hour to Edinburgh, now that the strikes are off again.

There is? Well there's no direct train, so you're still looking at a 30 minute journey compared to an hour.
